As requested some more pics. I have postponed the sequence of Bersatu Padu pics as I have found a few more of 'South Pacific'. Bonriki International complete with reception committee.
Some may wonder why we went to these places. Fortunately my log book provides a clue for this one. We took Sir John Field, Governor of The Solomon islands on his annual inspection tour. Not exactly a VIP mode of conveyance especially as it was also loaded with cargo, but the only one for the job.
I recall also visting one of the remote islands with the kit for them to build a UK style loo. Bricks, mortar cisten pan etc. Why ? Prince Charles was due to visit and just in case he was caught short this unique monument to human frailty was built.
